Oh god, what a bore waiting to be served like everybody is either a
child or two senile to fill their own plate. I would have to speak up
and say I'll fill my own plate, thank you very much.

Do you wear a cheap diners apron, pencil behind your ear, and chewing
gum while taking 'orders??' Sounds like a family of control freaks
instead of a 'formal' meal. (Trying to re-create that Norman Rockwell
picture of the family holiday meal where granny places the platter of
turkey in front of gramps to carve?)

I bet conversation is not allowed while eating either. Geez, loosen
up and enjoy the holiday meal instead of being a control freak
waitress and the host/hostess needs to lighten up and enjoy the day,
too, instead of controlling portions.
